Back to invites for a while in the UK

I wanted to quickly let everyone know that due to the huge demand in the UK over the last few days since we launched our mobile service, we are going to have to temporarily reinstate our invite system in the UK. We are invite-only in all our other launch countries but we hope to be able to remove the need for an invite again very soon. Premium users will of course still get instant access as per usual and all current users will be able to use Spotify as normal!

In the meantime there are still a lot of ways to get a Spotify account. If you’d like to sign up for Spotify you can get an invite from a friend (there are lots of them out there already) or sign up to our waiting list. And you can always just register directly for Spotify Premium to get access to all the features on offer including mobile access (for iPhone, iPod touch and Android) along with a few invites you can then share with friends.

As a premium subscriber already, what I would really love is a feature in Spotify to add my own, bought MP3’s, into my playlists. That way, I wouldnt have to use two different players, and could listen to all my music within Spotify.

Keep up the great work anyway lads, my Ipod Touch didnt know what hit it this week, loving the App.

But when I’ve made a playlist for a band with multible albums, it takes a while to find the song. Is it possible in the future to arrange the playlist like the way it’s done when searching and streaming through your servers? By that I mean, click the album and get the songs in it etc.

I second that it is hard to find your music in a playlist if you have more then a few songs in there. I would really like a way to browse it by song/artist/album. Also I really want release year to be added to the iPhone client.

I hope this means you guys are doing well. I think its a great service and i wish the music industry would support it more. The iphone app is great though could do with some fine tuning e.g.:

Adding my own non Spotify music to Spotify playlists-
If I remember I think Apple may well prevent this but would be nice.

Being able to add individual tracks from an album to a playlist without having to play the track-
Perhaps you already can but from what I see you can only select the whole album not individual track; just a pain.

Background playing –
I know this is limited by Apple but would be great!

Oh and boo to the no 3G off line sync; shame on Apple/O2 (interesting to know whom decided) as the Android users can! I would imagine Apple has an agreement with O2 not allow any network heavy apps and Android as a much more open platform has fewer network pressures.

Well happy with the iPhone app and Premium sub. Putting invites to use as well. Hope you guys can start to make some good money for the artists now.
An in application safari window as with Wunder Radio would be a great addition on the iPhone in the absence of multi-tasking.

Let me trial the iPhone client before parting with my very stretched budget cash and you might have a Premium sale. Until that time I’m just going to be using your service and stretched servers for free. Do you see how that works Spotify?

This really needs changing back to No Invites, ASAP This is redicolous.. there are thousands of online users being held back from using Spotify! – Stranded. Also one point, only Premium users can send invites? What a load of fail. Even just the one invite would be an acceptable cause. IGNORANCE.
